aw, hec
Do you own a gun? If so, why? What kind of gun do you own? How much did it cost? How many guns do you own? What do you shoot with it? Conversely, if you don't own a gun why not?





Also, let's do our best to not turn this into a gun legality debate. Nothing good will come of it and you know it.

Non plaudite modo pecuniam jacite.

Nope. I wouldn't mind having one locked up in a case for emergencies like food riots, power outages, or governmental collapse, but there's a ton of poo poo I'd buy and a ton of bills I'd pay before shelling out the money for a gun, ammo, gun safe, and range time.

Edit: OK maybe more than one.

is this like where if I say yes, you ask me to kill some one?
I've had a pick up for years and I've helped enough people move, that I know if some one asks "do you have a truck" to say no.

I have an AR-15 and a S&W Model 27-2. I probably won't get any more because I almost never shoot the ones I have

guns are fun and good imho but if you don't like them that's OK too, no hard feelings.

I want to own a handgun and a small rifle but I've already got stuff to spend money on like arrows for my new bow. Prolly a year of nuke outages and I'll be sitting comfortable and will buy em.

hell no, I'm waiting for the next big gun control panic so I can offload the AR-15 for the price of a nice used jetski and I'm keeping the S&W until I die because it's just a beautiful object (and also I can use it to shoot a dude if I have to)

no problem extra stout:

gauge refers to the bullet "width" so if u shot someone in the ear the gauge is how big the earring plug u need to buy is to plug "plug" the new hole


caliber, on the other hand, refers to how good the gun is. if the gun is of a "high" caliber, that is agood gun, you're gonna wanna hold onto that one

a tshirt gun i modified to fire tuxedo rolls soaked in axe body spray. with minimal nonlethal bruising and facial lacerations (will you be lucky enough to receive the coveted Dr no?!) Tux You Up (c) is the last best option for the gentleman in duress. and give a thought to our prom night special: with every purchase of a tuxedo buck, a Tux You Up technician will discreetly follow you and your date to Make out Point, hide on a distant hillside, and when the time is right use their patented butane torch tuxedo roll ignition kit to lob a shooting star across the sky- and when the stars themselves are rejoicing before you, even the shyest of debutantes will struggle to resist the sting of cupids arrow.

I have a bolt action 270 that I inherited and a pellet gun. My grandpa had these two awesome dragoon pistols with antique ammo and holsters like the ones the gang uses in Blood Meridian and I would have liked to inherit those but grandma sold the collection for money and I would much rather she have a comfortable and worry free life at 90 than I have two stupid loving guns.

If I had a bunch of extra money I would have:

- A lever action .22
- A ruger .22 semiauto (the Honda Civic of guns) with a few hilariously sized drum magazines and maybe some kind of ricey flip away scope
- A 10ga (semiauto)
- A BAR
- A HKP30 for "home defense"
- Maybe a .30-06 of some kind with good glass on it

I do not, but I believe if you do something you should do it right. If I start out with a 500 S&W am I going to break my wrist / shoot my face off? Is there something bigger/cooler?

just buy an assault rifle they're easy as gently caress to shoot and you could probably clear a movie theater or a school pretty easily
